    576 cm²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Number of sections in a suncatcher (n) = 6

    Each section is in the shape of a parallelogram.

    Base of parallelogram = 12 cm

    Height of parallelogram = 8 cm

    Now, area of a parallelogram is given as:

    Area of parallelogram = Base * Height

    Area of 1 parallelogram = 12 cm * 8 cm = 96 cm²

    Now, there are 6 parallelogram shaped sections.

    So, area of the sections = area of 1 section * total number of sections

    ∴ Area of 6 sections = 96 cm² * 6 = 576 cm²

    Therefore, the total area of the sections of a suncatcher is 576 cm².
